 Or on the flipside if they want to stay competitive they can always come to the states with foreign teams or have a US team house, etc. Either way I think this sucks for young korean progamers, I'm just saying there is a silver lining. | ||

If korean progamers stay in korea then they will forcibly practice less and give us foreigners the chance to catch up.

We need every bit of SC2/BW support we can get from every country in the world. The scene works because we have the Koreans to set the standard and the foreigners to cheer for. | ||

Well if a young progamer rises to be known he will be under control and in big trouble. | ||

I can't believe they are imposing such restrictions in an otherwise liberal democracy. In the West, enforcing this is called "parenting" and if you do a bad job it is your fault not the government's. You can't really tell from the article how close a "proposed" policy is to actually being law. Do they ? Can't imagine why any country would want that. | ||

Korean gamers have to register accounts with their KSSN #'s, which has all their information connected to them. Because of this they (the government) can order game companies (Blizzard, NCSoft, etc) to kick those accounts off after a certain amount of time. | ||
